Microsoft Azure Arc simplifies the management and governance of complex environments that are spread across core on-premises, multicloud, and edge. Microsoft Azure Arc provides a single control plane by extending non-Azure resources from on-premises, multicloud, or edge into the Azure Resource Manager. Microsoft Azure Arc extends the Azure data services and management capabilities to any infrastructure, fulfilling the rapidly increasing hybrid cloud requirements across organizations.

Microsoft Azure Arc allows you to manage Azure Arc-enabled servers, Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes, Azure Arc-enabled data services, and Azure Arc-enabled SQL server resource types from any infrastructure.

PowerFlex is a Microsoft Azure Arc validated storage platform that is optimized to run hybrid data workloads. For more information, see Microsoft Azure Arc Validation Program.
